OneDrive Files on Demand for Mac
Hello,
Any Update to this topic from Microsoft?
When the OneDrive or Sharepoint is quite large, permanent syncing is really tedious.
Files on Demand is really mandatory also on Mac...
Many Thanks
Well. Here you guys go 😉 Mac version available soon! https://support.office.com/en-us/article/try-files-on-demand-for-mac-529f6d53-e572-4922-a585-e7a318c135f0It seems to work quite well! Hooray!
I just tried testing this on another Mac, a MacBook that had a small SSD drive and it isn't working. I have 25GB in my OneDrive for Business and it shows cloud icons for all files and folders however, it has already eaten up 12GB on my MacBook and if I look at other folder, it keeps downloading even though it shows that it isn't so I can't "free up any files" as it looks like they are all in the cloud except that they aren't. This Files on Demand OneDrive client is not ready at all. 😞
- Thanks for posting that Christopher. Looks like MS are finally delivering on this.

Will have our guys download the preview this week. If it works then its a game changer in simplifying the infrastructure we need for our small number MAC users and the way they can work alongside the wider business. Deleted, yeah!! It's about time Microsoft did this!
- You won't hear anything till Ignite if anything. We will know more then, if you don't hear anything at Ignite then don't expect it for a long time :P.
